Africa's Deadliest - Episode Guide

Travel to the deepest, darkest depths of Africa and see how the deadliest predators use different techniques to kill their prey. Lions use an organized ambush tactic, fanning lionesses out behind the prey and stalking it into position for a faster lion to attack.

Alone they may be weak, but with strength in numbers, some African creatures are deadly. Wild dogs the size of household pets conquer prey more than 10 times their size, and the tiny mongoose's tight family unit keeps it out of trouble.

The 'alienlike' jaws of a moray eel and the remarkably fast strike speed of a puff adder snake are just two of the deadly weapons featured in Africa's Deadliest: Lethal Weapons.

The octopus camouflages itself until a hapless victim wanders to close.
